Books like Veracity by Laura Bynum
After a viral attack in 2012 kills half the nation, a new regime, the Confederation of the Willing, imposes authoritarian rule. Citizens are monitored by a mandatory implant called the Slate, and speaking a "Red‑Listed" word can result in physical punishment or death. Control is maintained through state-sanctioned sex, drugs, and the ruthless Blue Coats.
Against this backdrop, a covert resistance guided by the mythical "Book of Noah" seeks to rouse the populace from apathy and ignorance. Harper Adams, a survivor who lost her daughter in the attack, is thrust into the resistance’s struggle. Her mysterious power could become a decisive weapon for freedom — or an instrument of its undoing.
